Pf Adrian Smith, Professor of Human Geography and Dean for Research, Queen Mary University London

The briefing document was very well received. It really assisted with the presentation of our research findings from the second stage of our research project, and enabled them to be portrayed in an engaging manner which for our policy audience was very important. As always the work that Research Retold undertook has been excellent and we are delighted with the impact it has had and the clarity if provides to policy audiences.See the visual summary…

Ewan Snedden, Director Monitoring and Evaluation, WYG

The team are happy with the briefs created by Research Retold, they look great. For me, the differentiator is that the Research Retold team are able to do nice graphics, but also (crucially) engage with the material and get it across in a clever way, i.e. add value. We have occasionally used non-UK based, cheaper graphics houses who don’t do the latter.

Sophie Timms, Principal Consultant, WYG

We were very happy with the outputs produced by the Research Retold team. They are clearly a team of specialists, able to take complex, academic research and translate it into creative, digestible and visually attractive summaries, pulling out the most important messages. It is great to have a partner that understands and is interested in the research content of our work, especially given that it is often quite technical.

Kathleen Latimer, Associate Director Monitoring and Evaluation, WYG

I was really impressed with the speed at which the team grasped the research content and their ability to condense and present this in a highly accessible and engaging way using info graphics and neat design; the key messages were distilled and presented very well. I am used to writing in different styles and for different audiences but this only goes so far – the use of graphics is a powerful way to convey research messages. While I have been happy to have a go at this in the past, I am not a graphic designer so the final product is limited by what I can imagine and produce. In Research Retold we had a partner who both understood the research content AND how to present it.

Working with Research Retold has been such a positive experience! We chose them as our missions are very aligned: to increase public engagement in research. Not only have they produced beautiful designs, they have also given us excellent advice, worked to deadlines and were really welcoming of feedback. Most importantly the resulting impact report is superb and we are very proud.See the report…

Dr James Harrison, Reader, University of Warwick

Research Retold had a sensitivity to the ideas which I as a researcher wanted to get across. They also had the design skills to turn those ideas into something that people outside academia really wanted to engage with. This is a really rare combination that I have not found before, and has been invaluable in helping me get my research ideas out to a wider audience. Read more…

Dr Anju Keetharuth, Researcher in Health Economics, University of Sheffield

It was a wonderful experience working with the highly professional Research Retold team. The visual summary they produced for us was simple, logical, easy to understand, appealing and did justice to the project in a way that as I could not. We now use the visual summaries for all our events with service users, healthcare professionals, academics and policymakers.Read more…

Dr Victoria Williamson, Vice-Chancellor`s Fellow for Music, University of Sheffield

Working with Research Retold was a delightful experience mainly because I felt that they actually wanted to understand our research. I would recommend Research Retold to any researcher who wants to present their work in a brief, easy-to-read, visually captivating and creative way!See the infographic…

An outstanding process from start to finish. I found Research Retold to be highly professional, helpful, and efficient. They brought fresh insight into how I could re-tell the research to different audiences and produced a final product that gained fantastic feedback and helped to facilitate impact.

Dr Adam Hill, Lecturer in Audio Engineering, University of Derby

I first came across Mihaela after seeing her give a very impressive pitch at Startup Weekend Sheffield. Research Retold struck me as something that nicely met the needs of the academic community and I was immediately interested in getting involved. Mihaela was able to accurately identify my needs as a customer and delivered an excellent final product which has resulted in quite an impressive amount of impact.See the infographic…

Dr Garrett Brown, Reader in Political Theory and Global Ethics, University of Sheffield

After finishing a 3-year grant on global health policy, I was invited to present my findings to a group of African health ministries. I was given ten minutes to present my research to this group of very busy diplomats. Knowing that I needed to get my message across quickly and effectively, I supplemented my presentation with a 1-page policy brief and 2-page infographic created by Research Retold. Working with Research Retold was easy and they handled all the summary and design elements. I continue to use their service and I recommend them without hesitation. Read more…

We worked closely with Research Retold to create a report that illustrates the social impact of our business for young people and employment across the UK. Mihaela meticulously worked through our statistics and Radina came up with a design that effectively communicated our impact. We were delighted with the final result and used the report to showcase our work at the AGR trade show.Read more…

Nasos Papadopoulos, Founder, Metalearn

Neeta Patel, CEO New Entrepreneurs Foundation

We had just finished our UCL impact report and were evaluating the best way to communicate the findings to our community i.e. our trustees, sponsors, future candidates and media. Mihaela approached us in November 2015 with Research Retold, and created an infographic for us that visualises the findings of our impact report in a concise and creative way. We are currently using the document to engage with our community and it’s generating the positive reaction we were expecting! Read more……
